Dental Affiliate Receives Fresh Opportunity in Washington Business Tax Dispute

A Colorado-based company, M’KNIB Company, has been granted the chance to contest a Washington state business and occupation tax assessment by the Washington Court of Appeals. The company, involved in franchising Comfort Dental locations, contends that its connections to Washington do not warrant the tax. The appeals court determined that the superior court had incorrectly supported the state revenue department’s summary judgment motion. The case has been remanded for further investigation into the company’s ties to Washington.
